`3\text{ seniors}`

c. There is not enough information to solve this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that "Of the 18 seniors in her class , 5/6 went on a trip"

a. The number of seniors that went on the trip is;

`\begin{gathered} n=(5)/(6)*18 \\ n=15 \end{gathered}`

So, the number of seniors that went on the trip is 15;

`15\text{ seniors}`

b. The number of seniors that did not go on the field trip is;

`\begin{gathered} n^(\prime)=total\text{ number of seniors - number of seniors that went on the trip} \\ n^(\prime)=18-15 \\ n^(\prime)=3 \end{gathered}`

So, the number of seniors that did not go on the field trip is 3;

`3\text{ seniors}`

c. the number of students from the class that did not go on the field trip.
